An observation....do Choppers differ?
Had a little ride down to Box Hill in the South Today, loved it and first time since I got my SV that I could ride without the cold limiting journey time. Though I must admit I got overtaken by some very quick Kawa's and R1's on the way, it was fun apart from the damp roads. Anyway, coming the other way were a good few riders who all nodded their heads or flashed. The only ones who didn't or didn't respond were Chopper riders, why is this? Different code, coincidence or are they just different? What's the etiquette?
Rgds Confused. |

Re: An observation....do Choppers differ?
Some bikers just dont nod / flash / wave, /get off their bikes and do a merry dance
I tend to most of the time but I tend to be concentrating on the road ahead most of the time to notice passing bikes. Suppose its just personal preference |

Re: An observation....do Choppers differ?
If YOU were riding a chopper, TIB, would you let go of the bar?
Don't think I would!

Re: An observation....do Choppers differ?
Aw that's funny but No no no , don't get your coat, you're right they all had facial hair. That's it, they only nod to hairy folk. And their hairy hair was grey. Now I understand, it wasn't my Hi Viz jacket (sorry bout no street cred) but my lack of hairy facial hair that made me feel unaccepted. I can sleep well tonight with my shaven boat race (face).
